- This invention addresses issues involving how a remote UE can optimally (i.e., when and how often) perform relay UE disco very/selection/reselection and how the network controls the remote UE in this process.
- the network control involves the control of the remote UE measurement process and the actual relay UE selection/reselection process.
- One of the criteria for network control is based on the so called "network coverage status" from a cell perspective (e.g. normal coverage or isolated/edge of network coverage). Other criteria for network control could be based on preconfigured QoS parameters or service continuity requirements (i.e. minimized service interruption). Measurement control of remote UE could be based on preconfigured or dynamic signaled thresholds, offsets, and/or associated time intervals. A goal of embodiments of the present invention can be, for example to prevent the remote UE from unnecessarily performing relay discovery and relay
- the relay function targets a UE either in RRC_CONNECTED state served by a cell or in direct D2D communication with the relay UE directly over PC5 link.
- the invention defines enhancements to D2D communication to enable supporting the extension of network coverage using, for example, L3-based UE-to-Network Relays, including service continuity (if needed), based on Release 12 D2D communication, considering applicability to voice, video as examples.
- the invention involves the potential minimization of service interruption for the cases where the UE is moving from in-coverage to out-of-coverage, from out-of-coverage to in- coverage, and even from one out-of-coverage location to another out-of-coverage location.
- the remote UE can take radio level measurements of the PC5 radio link quality.
- the radio level measurements can be used by the remote UE together with other higher layer criteria to perform relay selection.
- these measurements could be used by the UE to perform selection similar to out-of-coverage case, or they can be reported to the eNB.
- the reselection could be handled and/or performed by various wireless network devices.
- Uu link quality can be used for selection reselection purposes.
- the monitoring and transmitting resources for discovery are provided, for example, by the eNB using the Rel-12 mechanisms (broadcast for idle mode and dedicated signaling for connected mode).
- the remote UE can decide when to start monitoring.
- the eNB can control when the remote UE starts using or requesting the resources for transmission purposes or this can be done by another device.

- FIG. 2 presents a diagram of a cell 202 served by eNB 204 and various user equipment either staying within the cell (UEs 210, 212, 214, and 220), exiting the cell (UE 206), entering the cell (UE 208), or always remaining outside the cell.
- UEs 210, 212, 214, and 220 the user equipment
- eNB 204 The workings of eNB 204 would correspond the eNB 170, while UEs 206, 208, and 228 would correspond to remote UE 110, and UEs 210, 212, 214, 220, and 232 might all be potential relay UEs thus possibly corresponding to UE 110X.
- a UE with good serving network coverage does not need to monitor potential relay UEs in the serving cell or another cell, where good means that a measured serving cell RSRP value is higher than a pre-defined threshold.
- this UE 206 moves towards the edge of cell 202 and does not find a suitable neighboring cell, in case UE 206 is about to lose network coverage, there is a need for this UE 206 to discover and select a suitable relay UE and continue service via the selected relay UE connection.
- UEs 210 and 220 could be thought of as potential relay UEs for UE 206 once UE 206 leaves cell 202 and the wireless connection 226 between UE 206 and eNB 204 would be severed.
- the serving eNB 204 is configured to be aware of network-coverage status related to individual cells, such as cell 202, that serving eNB 204 provides.
- the network- coverage status of individual cells may specify whether the cell 202 is an isolated cell or not and if not then whether the cell 202 is currently at some edge or border of the network coverage.
- a cell at a seaside may be considered at edge or border of the network coverage towards the sea.
- a cell has a pre-determined coverage hole or exclusion zone or has a pre-deterrnined temporary loss of a macro-coverage neighboring cell that may be considered as being at edge or border of the network coverage.
- the serving eNB 204 may initiate and select UEs being in a connected state with the eNB to act as relay UEs (such e.g., UEs 210 and 220) based on the network-coverage status of the individual cells the serving eNB 204 is providing.
- the serving eNB 204 may also indicate the network-coverage status to relevant UEs (such as e.g., potential relay UEs and remote UE 206 inside the cell coverage) using SIB or dedicated signaling. Upon receiving this indication, relevant UEs may determine, e.g., whether to adjust configuration parameters related to the relay UE discovery and Selection or not, and act accordingly.
- relevant UEs such as e.g., potential relay UEs and remote UE 206 inside the cell coverage
- SIB or dedicated signaling Upon receiving this indication, relevant UEs may determine, e.g., whether to adjust configuration parameters related to the relay UE discovery and Selection or not, and act accordingly.
- Either the serving eNB 204 may determine and configure individual UEs acting as possible relay UEs (such e.g., UEs 210 and 220) with Uu link quality to be indicated to possible remote UEs (such as e.g., UE 206) or individual relay UEs (such e.g., UEs 210 and 220) are configured to detenriine and indicate that Uu link quality to possible remote UEs (such as e.g., UE 206).
- the indicated Uu link quality of a relay UE may be simple qualitative information such as adequate, good, or excellent levels, assuming that UE with inadequate link quality is not selected to act or stop acting as relay UE.
- the Uu link quality is determined based on actual UL/DL radio measurements as well as power range class, available capacity, and capability of relay UE and serving eNB. Such determinations could be, for example, where the available capacity is a measure of available relay UE ProSe discovery resources and, for example, where the capability of relay and serving eNB is a measure of whether the serving eNB supports discovery and/or whether the UE supports acting as a relay.
- UE 206 could represent a remote UE as it exits cell 202 and cannot avail itself of cell 202 after it leaves the reach of eNB 204.
- remote UE 206 would, under this disclosure, connect to eNB 204 via some UE still within the cell and capable, using the measures described herein, of acting as a sutiable relay.
- UE 210 and UE 220 are potential relay UEs but in the end for example UE 210 is chosen as the relay over UE 220.
- the serving eNB 204 may configure possible remote UEs (such as e.g., UE 206) with some measurement threshold(s) or threshold offset(s) coupled with some measurement timer(s) or timer offset(s) specific to relay UE discovery and selection as follows.
- the options using offset(s) refer to offsetting corresponding parameter(s) specified for the current handover related neighboring-cell measurements for triggering measurement for UE relay discovery and selection. Note that offset is used when comparing current measurement and neighbor relay UE's measurement, for example, when a neighbor relay UE's measurement is better than the current measurement plus this offset, the UE may select to that neighbor relay UE.
- the aforementioned measurement control parameters are configured to allow the remote UE (such as e.g., UE 206) for more proactive UE relay discovery and selection (with lower constraints or negative offsets). Otherwise, higher constraints or positive offsets may be configured to the remote UE for a more conservative or preventive UE relay discovery and selection. Accordingly, a negative offset will enable proactive relay UE selection as lower neighbor relay UE measurement will meet the selection condition.
- the aforementioned measurement control parameters are configured to individual possible remote UEs (such e.g., UEs 210 and 220) by the serving cell 202 with explicit hard constraints which may be specified for different kinds of user priorities and service requirements.
- the remote UE (such as e.g., UE 206) may be configured with reference constraints for the aforementioned control parameters and allowed to derive the actual values adapted to indicated network coverage status of the serving cell, Uu link quality, actual service needs, and service requirements as well as an associated priority of the remote UE (such as e.g., UE 206) according to preconfigured rules.
- the remote UE may adjust the aforementioned control parameters either to speed up the relay UE discovery and selection with a possible early trigger aiming for the earliest found suitable option or to carry out a more thorough relay UE discovery and selection to find the best possible option.
- the eNB 204 may configure individual remote UEs (such as e.g., UE 206) when still being in coverage with the possibility to select the only possible relay UE (such as e.g., UE 210) which indicates to have the capability of being a candidate relay UE, e.g., at least good Uu radio link quality.
- individual remote UEs such as e.g., UE 206
- the only possible relay UE such as e.g., UE 210 which indicates to have the capability of being a candidate relay UE, e.g., at least good Uu radio link quality.
- a second case is where the remote UE 208 is served by the eNB 204 via the relay UE 212. Such a case can correspond to the mobility scenario where a UE 208 is going from out-of-coverage to in-coverage.
- two factors can affect the remote decision of UE 208 to select another relay or cell, specifically, the PC5 link's quality and the relay UE's Uu link quality.
- the remote UE 208 would either undertake relay UE reselection or switch to cellular access mode, and a similar analogy to the operation described above can be applied for introducing and configuring measurement and selection control parameters to the remote UE on PC5 adapted to indicated network coverage status of the serving cell, Uu radio link quality of relay UEs, actual service needs and service requirements, as well as an associated priority of the remote UE.
- remote UE 208 upon moving into cell 202 might discom ect from relay UE 212 to connect directly to eNB 204.
- UE 228 if UE 228 is thought of as the remote UE, it might be connected to either one of UE 212 or UE 214 and chose the other if a reselection process determines that connecting to UE 214 would be preferable over UE 212.
- the remote UE 228 may select the first suitable relay UE regardless of indicated Uu link quality to avoid any additional delay.
- the remote UE 228 which is relayed by a relay UE with an adequate Uu link quality may be configured with (or configured to determine or derive) lower triggering threshold to carry out measurements for possible relay UE reselection or switch to cellular access mode more often compared to the case in which the relay UE has better Uu link quality.
- the aforementioned measurement and selection control parameters for the remote UE in one option may be determined and configured by the serving eNB via the relay UE or by the relay UE over PCS signaling during/after relay connection's setup, or alternatively included in relay UE's discovery messages.
- the remote UE 208 may be pre-configured with reference constraints for the aforementioned control parameters and allowed to derive the actual values adapted to relevant control information (Uu link quality, network coverage status of the serving cell) provided by the relay UE 212, actual service needs and service requirements as well as associated priority of the remote UE 208.
- relevant control information Uu link quality, network coverage status of the serving cell
- the relay UE 212 may trigger the remote UE 208, which is being served by the relay UE 212, to search for a new relay UEs/cells so that remote UE 208 (or UE 228) can switch to another relay UE 214 or cell before the current relay UE relaying ability breaks down.
- the relay UE 212 may notify the remote UE UE 208 (or UE 228) of its evaluation decision.
- a third case another scenario besides moving in or out of the cell, is where a UE 228 moves, in a direction we can label as "horizontal", continuously from an out-of-coverage location to another out- coverage location 230, where it at first relies on UE 214 to act as a relay UE and maintain a link to the eNB 204 (UE 214 link to eNB204 not shown or numbered) and then perhaps switches to UE 232 to act as a relay UE and maintain that link to eNB 204 (the link also not shown or numbered).
- Such a scenario would involve initial relay UE 214 and potential UE 232 both considered as potential relay UEs as a reselection process is commenced.
- FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of an example of an embodiment of a method to control relay UE discovery and selection for a remote UE.
- the network control involves the control of the remote UE measurement process and the actual relay UE selection/reselection process.
- one of the criteria for network control is based on the so called "network coverage status" from a cell perspective (e.g. normal coverage or isolated/edge of network coverage).
- Other criteria for network control could be based on preconfigured QoS parameters or service continuity requirements (i.e. minimized service interruption).
- Measurement control of remote UE could be based on preconfigured or dynamic signaled thresholds, offsets and/or associated time intervals.
- the remote UE is configured (by the serving network) to detemiine trigger conditions as well as perform determined radio measurement, discovery and selection or reselection of a relay UE on- the- fly dynamically adapted to: measured PC5 link quality towards relay UE, indicated Uu link quality of relay UE, indicated network coverage status related to individual serving cell (e.g., isolated, edge of coverage hole, or normal); preconfigured control thresholds, offsets and/or associated time intervals for measurement and selection; preconfigured QoS parameters including minimized service interruption requirements.
- a method to control relay UE discovery and selection for a remote UE 300 has a serving base station configured to be aware of the network coverage status relating to cells that the serving base station provides 302. That network coverage may specify whether the cell is an isolated cell or not 304. Moreover that network coverage may specify whether the cell is at some edge or the border of network coverage 306.
- the serving eNB may also indicate the network-coverage status to relevant UEs (such as e.g., potential relay UEs and remote UEs inside the cell coverage) using SIB or dedicated signaling. Upon receiving this indication, relevant UEs may detemiine, for example, whether to adjust configuration parameters related to the relay UE discovery and selection or not, and act accordingly.
- the base station initiates and selects a relay user equipment 308, where initiating and selecting means that the eNB allows and configures a selected UE to act as a relay UE.
- the process can be done either by the serving eNB determining based on the network coverage status of the serving cell and the Uu link quality of individual relay UE candidates and configuring selected individual UE candidates to act as possible relays 310 or eNB could configure the potential individual relay user equipment (for example allowing the relay UE to make the decision) to determine by itself, e.g., upon receiving the indication of the network coverage status, whether the UE can act as as a relay or not and indicate to the eNB that they can serve as possible relays 312.
- the eNB may then confirm those UEs which are selected to act as relays 314.
- the serving base station determines and configures the individual relay user equipment with Uu link quality to be indicated to remote UE.
- individual relay user equipment are configured to determine the Uu link quality indication. Thereafter, the selected individual relay user equipment can indicate Uu link quality to the possible remote user equipment 316, assuming that Uu link quality is at least adequate.
- the eNB may tell a remote UE in coverage to select only relay UEs which have a certain level of Uu link quality, as indicated by relay UEs.
- the selected individual relay user equipment may be configured to also indicate the network coverage status of the serving cell to the possible remote UE.
- configuring the relay UE to send an indication of the radio interface link quality of the relay UE to the remote UE might be optional if tight network control is preferred. Also note that identifying the remote UE may be optional, too, if the network uses broadcast signaling to configure UE regarding the initiating and radio measurement related parameters.
- the indicated radio interface link quality of the relay user equipment can be either expressed quantitatively or qualitatively, where qualitatively can be designated with terms such as adequate, good, excellent, etc. 318.
- user equipment with inadequate radio interface link quality would either be not selected to act as relay user equipment or if they are acting as relay user equipment then they would stop acting as relay user equipment 320.
- the radio interface link quality could be determined based on one of the following: the actual uplink/downlink ratio measurements; the power range class; available capacity; and the capability of a candidate relay user equipment and the serving base station 322.
- the serving base station may configure possible remote user equipment with some measurement threshold or with some threshold offset 324. These configurations could be coupled with some measurement time or some timer offset which are specific to discovery and/or selection of relay user equipment by the remote UE itself 326. For the remote UE selecting the relay UE, the remote UE must be provided with the Uu link quality as an input. Another input would be based on the remote UE itself doing the measurement of the direct interface between the remote UE and the relay UE, such as for example the PCS link quality.
- Embodiments of the current invention from the perspective of a remote UE can be summarized for example as the remote UE being configured by the serving network to determine trigger conditions as well as perform radio measurement, discovery, and selection or reselection of a relay UE dynamically on- the- fly, as determined.
- the determination is based on or adapted to, for example, indicated Uu link quality, indicated network coverage status of the serving cell (e.g., isolated, edge of coverage hole, or normal), preconfigured control thresholds, offsets and/or associated time intervals for measurement and selection, and preconfigured QoS parameters including minimized service interruption requirements.
- indicated Uu link quality e.g., indicated network coverage status of the serving cell (e.g., isolated, edge of coverage hole, or normal)
- preconfigured control thresholds e.g., offsets and/or associated time intervals for measurement and selection
- preconfigured QoS parameters including minimized service interruption requirements.
- the configured offsets/thresholds or associated time intervals may for example be semi-static or dynamic, as configured and controlled by the network.
- the latter option considers that those parameters can be derived by remote UE on-the-fly, for example, as functions of indicated Uu link quality, indicated network coverage status of the serving cell, and/or some QoS related parameters/priorities.
- a technical effect of one or more of the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein is providing an energy-efficient and QoS enhanced measurement and control for relay selection and reselection of remote UE which can be either in or out of network coverage.
